I think that the most important thing which all free software projects
can do now is to keep writing and publishing these ideas as early as
they can, no matter how half-baked, alpha, incomplete or whatever they
might be, because this is what will keep the patent trolls at bay.
Prior-art is critical in this, in order to demonstrate both that the
free software world is where the real innovation is, as well as to
demonstrate that for the Nafta countries and Australia, that Acacia or
Microsoft or Novell do not own this stuff - it's already out there.
